DENIAL is the pseudonym for Daniel Joseph Bombardier, a Canadian muralist and urban artist whose work centres around critiques of modern society.
There are many recurring themes to DENIAL’s pieces, including politics, capitalism, and consumer-driven culture. While DENIAL’s pieces are often biting and satirical, it’s his grounding in the human element that makes his art different from many of his contemporaries.
DENIAL works out of his studio, based in the city of Windsor, just on the other side of Lake Michigan from the US. His adoption of the alter ego ‘DENIAL’ came largely as a way to make fun of advertising and mass media messages which often portray less than realistic versions of modern-day life.
DENIAL continues to produce meaningful art, both murals and other urban art pieces, teach classes to younger artists, and tour internationally to promote his work.
This is a great time to buy pieces by DENIAL, as his auction prices have only gone for a few hundred ranging up to a few thousand dollars. Whilst there is very little auction history for DENIAL, his popularity is trending upward. His pieces have become more bold, and his shift to gallery art ensures that there will be a good amount of sellable art for collectors and galleries to obtain.
DENIAL is a true original, and as such his pieces look to trend upward in the near (and far) future. This is an exciting time to get in on a piece from DENIAL, and we advise any potential collector to seek out a piece wherever you can find it.
